Schumacher agrees his grandson and his friends made a bad decision, but not one worthy of deadly consequences.

“They knew they could be punished for it but they did not deserve to die,” said Schumacher.

Redfearn, 19-year old Maxwell Cook and 16-year old Jake Woodruff were shot by the homeowner’s son while breaking into the Wagoner County house Monday.

Schumacher says his grandson didn’t have a chance. The 17-year old, he says, never got into trouble.

“Brass knuckles against an AR-15, come on, who was afraid for their life,” said Schumacher.

…

The homeowner’s son has not been charged with a crime. Deputies believe he fired in self-defense.

“There’s got to be a limit to that law, I mean he shot all three of them; there was no need for that,” said Schumacher.

Let’s just get some things straight. It was 3-on-1. These thugs broke into the home carrying deadly weapons, by the grandfather’s own admission. They got exactly what was coming to them.

Had it not been for the AR-15 and its high capacity, this story could have ended a lot differently.

Liberals want to ban AR-15s because they claim the gun doesn’t have a defensive purpose. When you present the hypothetical of having to fend off multiple attackers, these liberals usually laugh and say that would never happen.

Now that we have a case of that hypothetical happening, it is interesting that the anti-gun talking point is that three armed and masked burglars going up against a homeowner’s AR-15 is ‘not a fair fight.’
